Announced on the fateful day of 17 October 2025, this agreement sees Fragbite – a Nasdaq First North-listed Swedish gaming and esports entity, no less – clutching its modest stash of 19.75 BTC and dreaming of the day it amasses 100 BTC by the year’s end. Lo, roughly 80 BTC shall be purchased through Safello’s platform in Q4 2025. A truly Herculean task, indeed. 💪

Tempo, a project so ambitious it makes even the angels in Stripe look like mere mortals, is venturing into the realm of blockchain payments. And oh, how they’ve scraped together a handsome bag of money-$500 million-note that it’s practically a small kingdom in the crypto universe. This round, led by Joshua Kushner’s Thrive and Greenoaks, hints that perhaps the gods of Wall Street and Silicon Valley have finally decided to take blockchain seriously-after all, what’s a little decentralization between friends?

In the fertile lands of ambition, the esteemed family office of Arthur Hayes, known to the world as Maelstrom, endeavors to raise an exorbitant sum well exceeding $250 million. This venture, suprisingly magnanimous, heralds the establishment of an aggressive private equity fund.

Bloomberg, that most solemn of scribes, reports Ripple’s grand design: a SPAC-fueled heist to siphon $1 billion into an XRP treasury. This digital Aladdin’s cave will hoard XRP as its primary asset, while Ripple, the magician, conjures funds through a SPAC. A fiscal ballet, one might say, though the audience includes only those who speak the language of volatility. 💸


Yes, behold the wisdom of CryptoQuant, as their metrics reveal that Bitcoin’s open interest variation has stumbled into a desolate wasteland, scoring a chilling negative 25-its lowest mark for 2025! This decline is akin to a rigorous spring cleaning of a house that didn’t even need it! But fear not, dear reader, for one must ponder: is this the dawn of a majestic resurgence or merely the darkest hour before an even deeper correction sweeps the floor?

Enter Julio Moreno, crypto’s version of a therapist who charges you in Bitcoin. In a recent X post, he declared $100,000 the next “critical level,” which sounds important until you realize it’s just a number we humans assigned meaning to, like how I think my toaster is sentient. Moreno’s fancy metric, the Bitcoin Trader On-chain Realized Price Bands, basically says, “If the price drops below this line, you’ll feel it in your soul.” Spoiler: My soul is already $5,000 in debt.

So, guess what? Beast Holdings, the operation behind Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson (the man who gives away cars like it’s a weekend hobby), is now dabbling in crypto. He’s filed a trademark for “MrBeast Financial” – and the crypto world is losing its mind. Well, probably.

According to the ever-vigilant BeInCrypto data, XRP leapt more than 4% in the past 24 hours, settling at a regal $2.38, rising from a measly $2.25 low on October 17. And for those keeping track, that was its most pathetic price point since the summer, when the birds were chirping and prices were soaring-sort of.

According to the sharp-eyed folks over at XRPScan (they don’t miss a trick, those lot), XRP’s “burn rate”-that’s the amount of XRP getting torched as transaction fees-plummeted from a chubby 616 XRP on October 17th to a measly 178 XRP on October 18th. That’s a drop of a whopping 71.26%! Talk about going cold turkey on burning, eh?
